It’s claimed the firm has decided to increase production based on very high demand following the console’s initial launch.

If the company manages to sell all those consoles, it will mean the Switch will outsell the Wii U’s entire overall sales by the end of March next year.

It seems Nintendo is looking to sell a total of 2 million units by the end of this month – a target which it looks set to comfortably reach.

There’s no doubt the Switch has had a strong start, so for the time being the focus will be on maintaining that momentum.

Nintendo says the hybrid console had the best-selling launch weekend in the company’s history, across the Americas, Europe, and Australia.

There’s no official figures as of yet, but we’re expecting to hear more once the month is through so stay tuned.
